Serving as a clinical supervisor can be a rewarding aspect of mental health practice.

It’s also critical to the success of new and developing therapists as they contribute to the positive change our communities so desperately need.

At the same time, supervision is a challenging and ever-evolving specialty that requires significant effort, patience, and skill.

The past decade has seen rapid changes in the field of psychotherapy. Innovations in telehealth, culturally responsive interventions, measurement-based care, and evidence-based practice have taken hold and require adaptation.  

But supervision and supervision training have often not kept pace with these changes.  

Many licensed professionals receive limited training in supervision, and what they do get is often the same basics over and over.  

As a result, many supervisors face challenges when preparing trainees to meet the demands of the new landscape.  

They often feel they’re left to develop strategies on their own, cobbled together through trial and error as well as reflecting on their own previous experience as supervisees.  

Inventing your own approach can be draining, and it leaves many supervisors with pressing questions like: 

  • Can you systematize your feedback process so you can give specific and actionable advice?
  • What’s the best way to get a trainee up to speed when they lack a key skill?
  • How can you best support supervisees who are neurodivergent or have different cultural and racial backgrounds to you?
  • How do you address questions of ethics and social justice while balancing the needs and boundaries of both supervisees and clients?
  • What can you say to motivate trainees when they don’t write their notes on time or resist other standard practices?

Luckily, there is a comprehensive literature on supervision and evidence-based best practices for meeting today’s unique challenges.  

This live online training, led by psychologists with expertise in supervision research and experience in leading large supervision teams, offers an insightful review of emerging evidence and best practices.  

It goes beyond the basics to cover deeper questions and needs in supervision, providing a roadmap for navigating the most pressing concerns in modern psychotherapy.  

What You Will Learn 

Innovations in Clinical Supervision will give you insight into the most important emerging evidence and best practices in clinical supervision. It will also address the most common challenges in today’s supervision landscape, giving you a roadmap for addressing stuck points.  

This includes the effective use of technology, integrating identity and cultural concerns into supervision, providing helpful feedback to trainees, and managing contemporary legal and ethical concerns.

After taking the course, you’ll be much better equipped to…

  • More confidently and effectively use your supervision time with cutting-edge best practices to help trainees develop their clinical skillsets
  • Use a behaviorally anchored method to monitor trainee performance, helping you target improvement opportunities and communicate their importance to supervisees
  • Provide specific and constructive feedback to help supervisees address skill deficits or overcome resistance to critical standards
  • Ethically navigate cultural, racial, and identity differences that exist between you and your trainees as well as trainees and their clients
  • Protect yourself legally with evidence-based best practices while contributing to a more effective supervision culture and the advancement of the psychotherapy field

Participants will also have an opportunity to receive peer consultation regarding ongoing supervision challenges as a part of this series.

Whether you have been supervising for years or are new to the role of clinical supervisor, this course will equip you with cutting-edge, evidence-based skills in effective clinical supervision.
